Sholem Aleichem's beloved "Tevye the Dairyman" has been adapted for stage and screen in various languages and countries. The most famous of these is "Fiddler on the Roof," but in addition to this English film, there are extraordinary adaptations in Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian. Using screen clips from each of these four films, Anita Norich explores why this story continues to haunt the modern Jewish imagination and how it has been re-interpreted throughout the twentieth century.
